Take a chicken breast, thinly sliced, (or buy them whole and butterfly them, whatever) pound it down with the bottom of a coffee cup (didn't own a meat tenderizer). Salt, pepper, and paprika of your choosing on both sides. Drop it in a frying pan with a bit of olive oil... it cooks fast. Less than five minutes for the entire process. Always kept a big bowl of the salad ready to go in the fridge, it only gets better with time - tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, salt, pepper, rice vinegar. Boom, done.

one of my favorites is to take a fillet of salmon or rockfish or cod or halibut, about 6-8 oz per person, put in a braising pan and cover with either canned tomatoes or diced fresh tomatoes, a few cloves of garlic, some fresh or frozen okra in slices, harissa, and some white wine or V8 juice to cover, put a heavy lid on it, and put it in a 425° oven for about 30-45 minutes.

I get off work pretty early so most meals are the same as any other day of the week. But when I feel lazy I have a few stnd bys... So what would you guys rather have

Get some ground Italian sauasge. If the store doesn't have any, I just buy the uncooked links, cut open the casing, and dump out the sausage inside.

Cook with some garlic. Then dump that into your favorite pasta sauce (homemade or store bought). Add red pepper flakes and other spices to your sauce (if it is store bought). Otherwise, just let it heat up.

Tear up about 10 corn tortillas, preferably stale, then fry them for maybe five minutes and drain. Heat up a cup of salsa in a skillet (I like salsa verde, myself) and then simmer the tortillas for a few minutes - don't let them get soggy. Top them with some quesa fresca, crumbled, some chorizo or some shredded chicken, a fried egg or two, and some shredded lettuce.
